Description: | A complete copper-alloy early Anglo-Saxon small-long brooch in very good condition, measuring 70.5mm in total length. The head plate is rectangular in shape measuring 18.7mm in length and 21.9mm in width. It is flat with no raised central panel but two parallel vertical rows of triangular indentations, each row in line with either edge of the bow and replacing the presence of an actual central panel.
The bow is faceted and 18.5mm in length and 8.5mm in width. It has two transverse grooves at its top and base. The flat panel also has two parallel transverse grooves across it. The half round panel has rounded transverse mouldings at either end. The foot of the brooch flares outwards into a spatulate/roughly triangular extension, which is now bent forwards at a c45 degree angle from the half round panel.
On the back face the pin loop with the remains of an iron pin within it can be seen. Most of the catch plate also survives. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 410
